The First Great Ancestor of the Five Dynasties

Chapter 118 Strange Movement in the River
In the hall, Bi Zhenhai briefly told what happened to Zhang Yijun.

His tone was somber and full of sadness, and everyone even thought that Zhu Xiu must have lived a miserable life of eating chaffy vegetables, being insulted, beaten, imprisoned, and abused in Jingzhou.

Pan Mei was a little skeptical at first. Based on his understanding of Zhu Xiu, no matter how difficult the environment was, Zhu Xiu would not suffer for herself and would definitely find ways to make her life comfortable.

Hardship and simplicity do not exist for Zhu Xiu. That boy is full of things and enjoys them better than anyone else.

But Bi Zhenhai, a man over six feet tall, looked at the honest Bajiao who didn't seem like he could lie, so Pan Mei had to believe him.

Could it be that Zhu Xiu really had a miserable life in Changyi Army?

Is the civil strife in Changyi Army really that serious?

Fu Jinzhan frowned, holding a handwritten letter written by Zhu Xiu in his hand, and read it carefully several times.

The letter also briefly described what happened after he went to Jingzhou, which was even more tragic than what Bi Zhenhai described.

In short, this letter is Zhu Xiu's request for help, asking Madam Fu to rescue him in time, otherwise Zhu Xiu will die, and even his bones will not be found.

To put it mildly, this is the deep friendship Gu Nian and the others forged in Cangzhou.

On a larger scale, this is related to the court's laws and stability and peace in the northwest and even central Guanzhong.

"There is another letter. Mr. Shao Lang asked Mrs. Fu to deliver it to Grand Master Li as soon as possible."

Bi Zhenhai took out another secret letter of fire paint.

Fu Jinzhan took it and took a look, but the handwriting on the cover was not Zhu Xiu's. It seemed to be written in the tone of Shi Kuangwei, the governor of Zhangyi Army.

Fu Jinzhan sighed: "The civil strife in Zhangyi Army has reached such a serious level, and it has attracted many forces to intervene."

Bi Zhenhai smiled bitterly and said: "Young Master used the rock salt detoxification method to collect salt in Yangjinchuan. The Xue family reported it to Wang Jun, and Wang Jun reported it to the court. This attracted the covetousness of Wang Jun and Jiao Jixun! The Xue family wanted to take the opportunity to replace him. Shi Jieshuai took up the position of Jiedushi. In the direction of Yuanzhou, there were also troops to put pressure on the court, forcing Shi Jieshuai to hand over Li Guangbo's murderer.

At present, Jiao Jixun is leading the Fengxiang Army to enter the country, nominally following the imperial decree, but actually coming to carve up the interests of the salt factory.Shi Jieshuai was injured and unable to take charge, so Zhang Yi's army relied on Shao Langjun to support him. With no choice but to hear that Mrs. Fu happened to be in Chang'an, he sent me and others to ask for help! "

Pan Mei lamented: "This kid Zhu Xiu is really a scourge. There is no hope of peace wherever he is."

Fu Jinzhan frowned and said: "But the Grand Master is still in the river. Even if we send someone to rush there now, it will still take six or seven days to arrive. Besides, I am not sure that I can persuade the Grand Master to intervene in Zhang Yi's matter."

Bi Zhenhai hurriedly said: "Young Master has told me, just ask Madam Fu to give the secret letter to Grand Master Li. The rest of Grand Master Li will naturally understand after reading the letter."

Fu Jinzhan held the secret letter and murmured silently. She knew her father-in-law Li Shouzhen's temperament, and she didn't think that just relying on Zhu Xiu's secret letter could persuade him to intervene in Jingzhou affairs.

She was wondering if there was any other way to help Zhu Xiu and Zhang Yijun.

"In this case, I immediately sent people to the river, and then went to see him in person at Wang Jun's mansion, asking him to show his respect and let go of the Zhangyi Army. In Kaifeng, I immediately sent a letter to my family and asked my father to come forward to discuss with Guo Situ and report to the court on behalf of the Zhangyi Army. intercede."

Fu Jinzhan quickly made up his mind and said decisively.

"Thank you Madam Fu for helping me!" Bi Zhenhai prostrated gratefully.

Fu Jinzhan said: "Pan Mei, take them down to settle down first."

Pan Mei took the order and led Bi Zhenhai to resign.

Fu Jinzhan sat alone and thought for a moment, then got up and hurried to the back house.

In the garden, a handsome young man with a brocade robe and a golden crown sat at the stone table, playing chess with a beautiful maid. The two had a great time playing.

When he was aroused, the young man grabbed the beautiful maid's tender little hand, which made the beautiful maid shy and angry, but the young man burst into laughter.

This man was none other than Li Shouzhen's eldest son, Li Chongxun, the marshal of the Hezhong Army.

Fu Jinzhan came in a hurry along the corridor. When he saw this situation, his expression did not change much and remained calm and indifferent.

Li Chongxun stood up slightly embarrassed, while the maid hurriedly knelt aside.

"Madam is back," Li Chongxun asked Fu Jinzhan to sit down with a smile.

Fu Jinzhan glanced at the maidservant, and said calmly: "You step back first."

"Yes," the beautiful maid timidly replied in a low voice, bowed with her crotch folded, and walked away.Li Chongxun watched the beauty twist her slender waist and disappear. He smacked his lips reluctantly and sat down opposite Fu Jinzhan, looking at each other in silence.

The couple has been married for many years, and they only treat each other with respect and no love as husband and wife.

Li Chongxun has a cowardly temperament and does not like a woman with a strong personality like Fu Jinzhan.

In front of Fu Jinzhan, he often felt heavy pressure and lacked the dignity of a husband.

He likes women who are as gentle as water and obedient to him.

That beautiful maid, called Maid, was actually Li Chongxun's concubine for a long time.

Fu Jinzhan knew it well, but he didn't point it out and let him go.

As the eldest daughter of the Fu family, no matter what kind of woman her husband Li Chongxun likes, it is impossible for her to shake her status as the eldest daughter-in-law of the Li family.

If Li Chongxun dared to think of divorcing his wife, his father Li Shouzhen would be the first person to break his three legs.

In fact, Fu Jinzhan hoped that Li Chongxun would find more women. If he could give birth to a son and a half daughters, she would be considered as a member of the Li family, so that she would be less stressed in front of Li Shouzhen.

As for herself, it was impossible for her to give birth to a child for a man she didn't like.

Li Chongxun changed his previous frivolous and playful expression and sat upright, twisting a white piece and pretending to think about the chess game.

Facing Fu Jinzhan, he always felt nervous unconsciously and tried his best to appear dignified.

Fu Jinzhan shook his head slightly to get rid of some distracting thoughts in his mind.

"I have something urgent and I must report it to the Grand Master as quickly as possible. You immediately order the 'Flying Harrier' to send my secret message to the river!" Fu Jinzhan said in a deep voice.

"Ah~? What?" Li Chongxun was stunned.

Fu Jinzhan frowned, watching him repeat his words again.

Feiyang is a communication organization secretly founded by Li Shouzhen and has been operating all over Guanzhong for many years.

Similar organizations basically exist in all major aristocratic families, generals, and Jiedu envoys, but there are differences in scale and influence.

As the daughter-in-law of Li's family, Fu Jinzhan naturally knew about Fei Yao's existence.

But she knew she knew it, but she didn't have the power to use it.

Li Chongxun heard it clearly this time and said hesitantly: "What's important, madam? I need to use the flying harrier."

Fu Jinzhan said calmly: "Shuai Shijieshuai of the Zhangyi Army fought with me in Cangzhou last year against the Khitans. Recently, there was chaos in the Zhangyi Army. Shijieshuai sent someone to ask for help from the Grand Master and asked me to pass on a message. I have many people in the Zhangyi Army. We are friends by name, so we must save them."

"Oh, that's it." Li Chongxun had a look on his face, Fu Jinzhan's words were vague, and he didn't ask too much.

Seeing Li Chongxun's hesitant expression, Fu Jinzhan frowned and said, "Why, you don't want to use the kite to send a message for me?"

Li Chongxun hurriedly waved his hands and said: "No, no. Since my wife is in an emergency, how can I not be willing as a husband? It's just. Just"

Fu Jinzhan's brows deepened, and his eyes looked a bit stern: "Just what? Are you hiding something from me?"

Li Chongxun smiled stiffly, sweat dripping from his temples.

After struggling for a long time, he gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "Madam doesn't know something, father is already gone in the river!"

Fu Jinzhan was startled and asked in surprise: "The Grand Master is not in the river?"

Li Chongxun grimaced: "Father, he came to Chang'an secretly and will be there soon!"

Fu Jinzhan was stunned for a long time. Li Shouzhen actually left Hezhong and secretly came to Chang'an?
She had no idea about this!
"When exactly will it arrive? Don't hide it!"

".Tonight"
